Sainsbury’s emulates Amazon with one-hour home delivery service trial

Sainsbury’s has announced it is trialling a one-hour home delivery service similar to Amazon’s online delivery model.

Britain’s second largest supermarket retailer said it was trialling its Chop Chop delivery service in the Wandsworth district of south London first, with a delivery fee of £4.99.

Customers living within a three kilometres radious of Sainsbury’s Wandsworth estate can order up to 20 products for delivery to their home within an hour via an app on iPhones or iPads.

Sainsbury’s chief executive Mike Coupe has said the company could see potential demand for having a basket of food delivered in such a short amount of time, and this would be complimented by the supermarket chain’s nationwide store network and the range of products they offer.
